This Halloween-themed lineup features four asymmetrical multiplayer horror games alongside one unexpected addition:

Featured Games and Achievement Details:

• Predator: Hunting Grounds (£19.99/Xbox Series X|S) Fresh from its Xbox launch this month, this asymmetrical shooter pits a team of mercenaries against the iconic alien hunter. Achievement hunters should note that recent fixes to previously unobtainable achievements make completion estimates currently uncertain.
• Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (£12.99/Xbox One, Series X|S) Offering the quickest completion potential at 15-20 hours for all 51 achievements, this multiplayer experience lets players choose between being Ghostbusters or the haunting spirit. Team coordination can significantly reduce completion time.
• Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game (£27.99/Xbox Series X|S) This adaptation of the cult classic requires approximately 25-30 hours for achievement completion, featuring teams of survivors facing off against powerful cosmic clowns.
• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (£19.99/Xbox One, Series X|S) Recently departed from Game Pass, this challenging title demands a substantial 100-120 hours for full achievement completion. Players battle as either Leatherface’s family or attempting survivors.
• Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 (£31.99/Xbox One, Series X|S) Standing apart from the horror theme, this cooperative RPG shooter offers 60-80 hours of base achievement content in its post-apocalyptic Washington DC setting.

Each game features distinct multiplayer experiences, with four focusing on asymmetrical horror gameplay where teams face off in uneven matches.

The Division 2 provides a different flavour with its combination of cooperative and competitive elements in a more traditional shooter format.

Game Pass Perks and Expiration Reminders

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers should note that several October 2024 Perks are approaching expiration, making this weekend an optimal time to redeem any unclaimed benefits alongside trying these free titles.

The promotion represents a particularly strong Free Play Days offering, providing a themed selection of recent releases just in time for Halloween celebrations.

Players interested in trying these titles should note that any progress made during the free period will carry over if they purchase the games afterwards.
